Sikowitz' class was silent. They'd been sitting in their seats for at least 10 minutes, but the teacher still hadn't come. Tori checked her watch and sighed. "Where is he?" she muttered to Andre, who was sitting to her right, and just as curious about the teacher's whereabouts as her. They all stared at the door by the stage expectantly, not noticing the noise behind them, as a coconut-milk sipping teacher strolled in.
"Class, why are you facing that-away?"
The whole class jumped and spun around on their seats to face the Sikowitz. He strolled over to the stage and sat on the edge. He waved an envelope in his left hand.
Jade jumped and walked closer to him. "Is that the winner?" she asked.
Tori raised her hand. "Winner of what?"
Jade scoffed and yelled "Must we explain EVERYTHING to you, Vega?"
Tori frowned and lowered her hand. "Winner of what?" She said quietly. Andre turned to her. "Every year there's a special Hollywood Arts prize draw," he started.
"And this year the prize is two tickets to Vanessa-Leigh Jordan's fashion show." Cat said.
"Vanessa-Leigh Jordan came to Hollywood Arts three years ago." Robbie said.
"So the Principal pulled some strings," Beck said.
"And this year, we got two free tickets to her fashion show." Andre finished.
Tori looked at Jade, who was still next to Sikowitz. "Was that so hard?"
Jade rolled her eyes and looked at the teacher. "Who won?" She asked. Sikowitz opened the envelope. "Someone called... Jade West." He looked confused. "Who is that?"
"Sikowitz," Beck said, "That's Jade." He pointed at his girlfriend.
"Oh!" Sikowitz said. He handed her two tickets. "Congratulations." With that, he jumped up and walked out the door.
Jade looked at the door then back at the tickets. She shrugged and left for lunch as the bell screeched.
